Borne Canyon Descent in La Souche, Jumps and Abseils, Ardèche

In the heart of the Monts d'Ardèche Regional Natural Park, the Borne Canyon descent in La Souche immerses you in a wild and preserved forest setting. Far from the region's most crowded tourist hotspots, this aquatic route sits roughly 40 minutes by car from Aubenas and Largentière, and 1 hour from Vallon-Pont-d'Arc. Tucked inside a lush granite gorge, this canyon offers a smooth progression through clear natural pools, sculpted rock slides, and refreshing waterfalls.

Accompanied by a state-certified instructor from the Born 2 Aventure team, you progress at your own pace since the guide leads only one group per day to avoid any time pressure. Following a 5-minute approach walk, you spend 3.5 to 4 hours navigating the riverbed. The itinerary alternates between swimming, sliding down natural water chutes, optional jumps ranging from 1 to 12 metres into deep natural pools, as well as optional abseils and zip-lines from 2 to 12 metres. Every single obstacle is strictly optional and can be bypassed, with the instructor tailoring the route to each participant's comfort and safety.

This canyoning outing in Ardèche is tailored for occasionally sporty participants aged 10 and over, provided they know how to swim and can handle 3 to 4 hours of hiking in a natural environment, including a 40-minute uphill return walk. All recent, CE-certified technical gear is provided on site: a full 5 mm neoprene wetsuit with hood, neoprene socks, MIC canyoning shoes, helmet, and harness. For added privacy with family or friends, a private group option for up to 10 participants is also available.
